Xing-Hao Luo, Chen-Wei Wang, Shao-Lin Xiong (IHEP) report on behalf of GECAM team:

GECAM-B was triggered on-ground by GRB 260510A, at 2026-05-10T02:46:35.000 UTC (denoted as T0), which is also detected by Fermi/GBM (Fermi GBM team, GCN #44508).

According to the GECAM-B light curves in about 70-6000 keV, this burst mainly consists of multiple pulses with a duration (T90) of 38 +6/-5 s.

Gravitational wave high-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) mission originally consists of two micro-satellites (GECAM-A and GECAM-B) launched in Dec. 2020. As the third member of GECAM constellation, GECAM-C was launched onboard SATech-01 experimental satellite in July 2022. GECAM mission is funded by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 02:46:19 UT on 10 May 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 260510A (trigger 800073984.34868 / 260510115).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 0.5, Dec = -41.9 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 00h 02m, -41d 53'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 84.0 degrees.
